Lagerstroemia indica 'Biloxi' Multistem
Our multistem Lagerstroemia features multiple low branches, creating a broader, more sculptural growth habit. Unlike a single stem form, this allows for a greater display of its stunning, mottled bark, enhancing its year-round visual appeal. Lagerstroemia are prized for their elegant clusters of blooms resembling crinkled crepe paper, which adorn the trees in summer. Specifically, the variety ‘Biloxi‘ is known for its light pink to purple flowers.
